An enormous quantity of corn foddr is grown each year, but not one-third of its fe;ding value is procured.

Another important repult obtained was that wheat may be hniveHtd t nnv time from the dough stage to t he il:id-np( condition, without appreciably aftV;t ing the weight or yield of thetrr.,jn. A comparison of the forms of nitr.ioeii r fertilizers for wheat indicated that sulphate of ammonia is b"lr than nitrate of no la or dried bloo I. SOME ADVICE TO ORIVERS. A driver gave his horse six quarts of oats about two hours earlier than ho was usually fed. The harness was being put on while the horse was feed ing. The driver managed to g-t his breakfast in the meantime. Shortly everything was in readiness and the horse was started on a long drive. The driver urged the animal with the whip. At the end of thirty miles the horse began to ignore that instrument. He went slower and slower; filially befell dead. Post-mortem exam iunt ion revealed the fact that the oats had not been digested. The lining of the stomach gave evidem-e of bavins b;en in a high state of irritation. It whs plain that the horse's previous ac cumulation of nerve power had been largely exhausted in defending the terrible irritation set up by the shnrp points of the undigested oats. Had ilie horse been permitted to stand, or lio down for au hour after ft-eding h would have prepared not only a re serve of material to sustain !iiinsvlf, but the imount of nourishing material accumulated would have helped him to endure his exhaustive journey. Time is required for the digestion of food before beginning a long muscular strain. It must also seem clear that when the effort at hard labor ends, time should be given for rest before taking food. Rider and Driver. PKOTTTSTTES FOR A HORSF STABLF. A horse stable should have thorough rtramage first, then a solid, non-absorbent floor ; next, the stalls should be roomy, and the feeding troughs should be made so that food oinnot be wasted. The best lloor is one urtde of cement concrete, of one part of cement, two of sand, and five of coarse gravel, laid three inches thick, and when well dried anil hard, saturated with hot gas tar. This makes the lloor waiei and vermin proof, and very durable, with sufficient elasticity to prevent injury to the feet of the animals. The st-dls should be six feet wide, the lloor ;- p ing one inch to a shallow gutter in the rear, from which the liquid mass mm flow away into a drain. The feeding trough should have a deep grain box. if grain is fed, or if cut feed is used, the whole trough may be the full length of the width ot the stall. A few bars fastened across the top of th- feed box will be useful to prevent the horse from throwiur out the feed, as some will do. If long hay is fed, this should be given in a rack above thw feed trough, but on account of the great waste in feeding lojg hay and whole frrnin, the hay should be cut and the grain, finely ground, be mixed with it. This avoids the loss by waste, which is often one-half of the food. It is desirable to have a drain from the stable to a manure pit at a dis tance, where the liquid may be ab sorbed by the coarse litter. The width of a horse stable should be not less thnn twelve feet, to afl'ord space to move about in easily. The loose boxes, ma le nine feet square, are the most desirable for safety and con venience, and these may open into a passage five feet wide. A feediug pas sage should be made in front of the stalla. FARM FENCES. The growing scarcity of timber in some parts of the country, and its en tire absence in others, mase the fence question a more serious one year by year. Only in the newly settled heavy-timbered land do we now see rails split for fences. Wire in some form is almost universally used for this purpose. The woven wire feno iug which is made in various widths answers every purpose of a fence, but it- is too expensive for general use. Wire and picket fencing does very well, but it is liable to be broken by unruly animals, and once a rent i started it is 6oon of little use to turn stock. Barbed wire, which composed the original wire fences of the Wet, is cruel, and many a horse has been ruined by being caught on the sharp, knife-like points. There is a way of making a wire fence, however, that is free from the objections that have been brought against the others. Plain, smooth galvanized wire, o. 10 or No. 12, may be stretched tightly, and fastened to wooden pouts, with a single ais-inch board at the top. Instead of the board a co-nmon "two by four" spiked tothe oete may bo used, from five to sevec wires ara needed, according to what it is desired to fenca against. The lat ter number put four inches apart near the gTonnd, and farther apart toward the top of the post will keep hogs, cattle, sheep or horses within the in closure. The railing or board at tin top is often used on barbed wire fence , as the animals can see it more plainly than they can the wire alone, and there is les danger of their running against it. Wire fence of any kind should be thoroughly braced and Tery tijrhtly stretched, .r they will aoon sag and get ort of shape. New York Tribune. FARM AM) ARtnr yoTKA Strain the milk before the cream be gins to rise. Medium sized hogs now bring th largest prices. The milk is largely affected by the physical condition of the cow. It requires about twenty-fiTe poundi of milk to make a pound of butter. There is a scarcity of beet sugar seed in Europe owing to the drought. The number of sheep killed by dogs every year is said to exceed 700,000. To make dairying a success, a dairy man must be a worker and a business man. i.tp'rien-e I butter makers say that t in :n i -h washing spoils the flavor of butt-r. The great fool crops of the world nre wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice and potatoes. There is a good market for trotters now , but only at p rices consistent with the facte in the case. Colts in training, if well eared for, grow better and keep in better health than when running at large. It is established that a horse whose individuality is strong enough to create a family type will also fl ths color with great uniformity. First-class fancy animals, suitable for driving and carriage horses, sound and well broken, are reported as scarce and bring good prices. Prices running well into the thou sands are no longer giTen for road horses unless the speed and other quali ties are of an exceptional character. Many trotting horses, owing either to natural defects of temperament, to bad training or to imperfect prepara tion, are exceedidgly difficult to con trol. The winter is the time to build the intended silo, as it can be done with less interference in other work. Have the. silo ready and complete for a crop of corn next season. A silo soon nays for itself. Sloppy food is not advisable as a continued diet for pigs. Give a change occasionally. The hogs are very par tial to whole corn, fed dry, and will eat it from the trough, either shelled or on the cob. Currant and gooseberry cuttings should be about five or six inches long, and planted two-thirds their length in open ground. They will root more quickly if cut a week or two before using and packed in damp moss. It is well to keep them partially shaded. The Sharpless strawberry has been tested over a large part of the conn try and does well in almost every lo cality, but in spite of its excellent record it sometimes fails. The Jessie is a line berry when it succeeds, but it f.hould be tested well before planting extensively. Turnips are easily kept by pitting, if not put in too thick. Make the pits long and about three au 1 a half feet high. Cover with straw and about six inches of earth. Ventilators should be jdaced about every ten feet. Tho pit is best made in a sheltered place, where the suow will not be blown oft SCIENTIFIC AS I) INDUSTRIAL. When oxygen is in a liquid state it is strongly attracted by a powerful electro magnet. The beef extract factories in South America make one pound of extract from thirty-four pounds of meat.-- A cubic foot of new fallen snow weighs five and one-half pounds on the average, and has twelve times the bulk of an equal weight of water. It is strange, though true, that in Asia and Africa, where grass will not grow, the most beautiful flowers and shrubs flourish to perfection. In tiling band sawn, tie a string where yon begin to file, and then you can tell when you get around, and therefore all the tetth'will be sharp, and ymi will not file any of them twice. Dr. O. V.

Refined crystalized sugar, whether made from the beet or the sugar cane, is almost, chemically pure and sac charose, and is the same substance in both cases. Few articles of food are so generally free from adulteration as granulated not powdered or coffee crushed sugar. The rate of mortality of London is shown by a recent report to have steadily decreased with the introduc tion and perfection of adequate means if disposing of the sewage of the city. At the end of the eighteenth century the annual average mortality was esti mated at fifty per 1000, and in J 892 it had dropped to 10.1 per 1000. In South America among the moun tains the evergreen oak begins to ap pear at about 5.100 feet, and is found up to the limit of the continnous forest, which is about 10,000 feet. The valuable cinchona tree, from which Peruvian bark is obtained, has a range of elevation on the mountain slopes runniug from 4000 to 9500 feet. In the process of extracting gold from its ores molten lead is used in stead of mercury. The lead is melted on a shallow hearth and the powdered ore is fed at one eud aud carried for ward as a film over the surface of the lead by means of an agitator moving over it. It is thus brought to the other end, where it escapes through a hopper. In order to prevent oxida tion of the lead the chamber is kept filled with carbonic oxide from a gas producer.

That this flfrure of Fp-e.-h is correct in describing fts appear au"e I am certified by an Incident. After rroS-nt? the Atlantio the first time and writing from Basle. Switzerland, to an Amer ican magazine en account of my voyage, rn whidi nothing more fascinated me than ths pbocphoreG?ene in the ship's wake, I called it th. htrbtnini? of the sea. Retornlns; tomy hotel, i found a book of John Ruskln, and t he f)rt sentence my eyes fell upon was his description of phosphorescence, In which hs ealiel it -the lightntn of the sea." Down to the postofflce I hastened to get the manuscript, and with great labor and some upepae possession of the maga zine arti -le and put quotation marks around that on sentunce. although it was as orig in U with mo as with John Ruskln. I sup pose that nine-tenths of you living so near the s-a"oast have watched this marine ap pear ui'-e called phosphorescence, and Ihope that the other one-tenth may some day be so bappy as to witness it. It Is the waves of the sen diamonded ; it is the Inflorescence of the billows; the waves of the sea crimsoned as was the deep after the ea fight of Lepanto ; the wave of the sea on fire. There are times when from horizon to nonzon the entire ocean seems in conflag ration with this strange splendor as It changes every moment to tamer or mors dazzling color on all sides of you. You sit looking over the taffrail of the yacht or oeo.ni Fiamer. watching and watting to see what nw thing the God of beauty will do with the Atlantic. It is the ooean In trans figuration : it is the marine world casting Its garments of gloryin the pathway of the Almighty ns He walks the deep ; It Is an In verted firmament with all fts stars gone down with it. No picture can present it, for photographer's camera cannot be success fully trained to catch It. and beforettthe hand of the painter drops Its pencil, over awe.) and powerless. This phosphorescence is the appearance of myriads of the animal kingdom rising, falling, .laying, flashing, living, dying. The luminous animalcules for nearly 150 years hiive been the study of naturalists and the fas -iiiatlon and solemnization of all who h.ivo bruin enough to think. Now, God, who puts in His Bible nothing trivial or use less, calls the attention of Job, the greatest Fcii-niist of his day, to this phosphorescence, and :is the leviathan of the deep sweeps past points out the fact that "he maketh a path to sbin after him." Is that true of us now, and will it be true of us when w have gone? Will there be eubspicut light or darkness? Will there be a trial of gloom or good cheer? Can anyone between now and the next 100 years say of ns truthfully as the text says of the leviathan of the deep. - He maketh a path to shine after him?" For we are moving on. While we live in the same house, and transact busi ness in the same store, and write on the same table, and chisel in the same studio, and thrash iu the same barn, and worship in the same church, we are in motion and are in many respeots moving on, and we are not where we were ten years ago, nor where we will be ten years hence. Moving on ! Look nt the family record, or the almanac, or info the mirror, and see if any one of yon Is where you were. All in motion. Other feet may trip and stumble and halt, but the feet or not one moment for the last sixty cen turips has tripped or stumbled or halted. Moving on! Society moving on ! The world moving ou ! Heaven moving on ! The uni verse moving on ! Time moving on ! Eter nity moviug on ! Therefore it is absurd to think that we ourselves can stop, as we must move with all the rest. Are we like the crea ture of tiie text, making our path to shine after usV It may be a peculiar question, nut my text suggests it. What influence will we leave in this world after we have gonethrough it? "None," an swer hun Ireds of voices ; "we are not one of the immortals. Fifty years after we are out of thu world it will be as though we never In habits.! it." You are wrong in saying that. I pass down through this audience and up throuc'i these galleries, and I am looking for some one whom I cannot And. I am looking for one who will have no in fluence in this world 100 years from now. But I have found the man who has the least influence, and I inquire into his history, and I find that by a yes or a no he decided some one s eternity. In time of temptation he gave an affirmative or a negative to some tempta tion which another, hearing of, was induced to decide in the same way. Clear on the other side of the next million years may be the first you hear of the long reaching Influence of that yes or no, but hear of it you will. Will that father make a path to shine after him? Will that mother make a path to shine after her? You will bo walking along these streets or along that country road 200 years from now in the character of your descendants. They will be affected by your courage or your cow ardice, your purity or your depravity, your holiness or your sin. You will make the path to shine after you or blacken after you. Why should they point out to us on some mountain two rivulets, one of which passes down into the rivers which pour out into the Pacific Ocean, and the other rivulet flowing down-into the rivers which pass out into the Atlantic Ocean? Every man, every woman, stands at a point where words uttered, or deeds done, or prayers offered, decide oppo site destinies and opposite eternities. We see a man planting a tree, and treading sod on either side of it, and watering It in dry weather, and taking a great care in its cul ture, and he never plucks any fruits from its bough. But his children will. We are all planting trees that will yield fruit hundreds of years after we are dead orchards of gol den fruit or groves of deadly upas. I am so fascinated with the phosphor escence in the track of a ship that I have sometimes watched for a long while and have seen nothing on the face of the deep but blackness. The mouth of watery chasms that looked like gaping jaws of hell. Not a spark as big as a firefly ; not a white serol' f surf ; not a taper to illuminate the mighty j epuicbere of dead ships ; darkness 3000 feet j deep, and more thousands of feet long an l wide. That is the kind of wake that a bad man leaves behind him as he plows through the ocean of this life toward the vaster ocean of the great future. . Now, suppose a man seated in a corner grocery or business office among clerks gives himself to jolly skepticism. He laughs at the Bible, makes sport of the miracles, speaks of perdition in jokes and laughs at revivals as a frolic, and at the passage of a funeral procession, which always solemnizes sensible people, says. "Boys, let's take a drink." There is in that group a young man who is making a great struggle against temptation and prays night and morning and reads his Bible and is asking God for help day by day. But that guffaw against Chris tiauity makes bim lose his grip of sacred thtnss. and be gives up Sabbath and church an I morals and goes irom bad to worse, till he falls under disai pat ions, dies in a lazar house an t is buried iu the potter's field. Another younsr man who heard that jolly skepticism ma le up his mind that "it makes .a difference what we do or say, for we wil! ill eo-ne out at last at the right pl.a-e." and 'ecan as a eonsequence to purloin. Pome neney that e.i-ne into his hands for others he applied to his own uses, thinking per hap he would make it straight some other time, and all would be well even if he did not make it straight. He ends in the peni tentiary. That scoffer who uttered the jokes against Christianity never realized what bad work he was doing, and he passed on through life and out of it and into a future that I am not now going to depict. I do noi propose with assar?hlleht to show the brrakt-rs of the awful coast on which that ship is wrecked, for my busing now is to watch the sea after the keel has plowed if. No phosphorescence iu the wake of that ship, but behind it two souls struggling in the wive two young men destroy.! by reckless I skepticism, an umllumined ocean beneath i and on all sides of them. Blackness of dark- i )eit. j You know what a gloriously gool man i Rev. John Newton w.s the most of his life. but tiefore his conversion he was a very wicked siilor. and on board the shin Har wich instilled infidelity and vise into the mind of a youn? man principles which de stroyed hiiu. Afterward the two met, anl Newton tried to undo his bad work, but in va.n. The young man be-.-air-.e wor- anl who stood by hlni in his last moments, Better look oat what bad Influence yon start, for yon may not be able to stop it. It does not require very great force to ruin others. Why was It that many Tears ago a great flood nearly destroyed New Orleans? A crawfish had burrowed Into tbe banks of the river until the ground was saturated aal the banks weakened nntil the flood burst. But I And here a man who starts out in life with the determination that he wilt never see suffering but hs will try to al leviate it, and n-ver see discouragement but he will try to cheer it. ani never meet with anybody but he will try to do him good. Getting his strength from Gol.be starts from home with high purpose of doing all the good he can possibly do In one day. Whether standing behind tbe counter, or talking in the business offle with a pen be hind his ear, or mating a bargain with a fel--low trader, or out In the flel-1 discussing w.th his next neighr the wisst rotation of the crops, or In the shoemaker's 6hop pound ing sole leather, there H something in bis face, and in his phraso!ogy and in ht man-n-r, that demonistrits the grace cf God In his heart. He can ttlk on religion without awkwardly dragging tt In by the ears. He loves God and loves the souls of all whom he meets and is interested In their present anl eternal destiny. For fifty or sixty years he lives that life, and then gets through with it and goes Into heaven a ransomed soul. But I am not going to describe the port into wjieh that ship has entered. I ara not going to describe the Pilot who met him outside at the "lightship." I am not going to say anything about the crowds of friends who met htm on the oyrstalllne wharves up which he goie on steps of ehrysoprass. For Go l tn His words to Job callls me to look at the path of foam In the wake of that ship, an 1 I tell you it is all a-gleatn with splendors of kindness done, and rolling with illu-nlni tears that were wiped away, and a-dash with congratula tions, an 1 clear out to the horizon in all di rections is tbe sparkling, flisntng, billowing phosphorescence of a Christian life. "He maketh a path to shine after him." And here I correct one of the mean no tions which at some time takes possession of all of us, and that Is as to the brevity of hu man life. When I bury soma very useful man, clerical or lay, in his thirtieth or for tieth year. I siy : "' What a waste of ener gies! It was hardly worth while for him to get ready for Christian work, for he had so soon to quit it." But the fact is that I may insure any man or woman who does any pood on a large or small s-?a!e for a life on earth as long as the world lasts. Sickness, trolley car accidents, death Itself, can no more destroy bis life than they can tear down one of tbe rings of Saturn. You can start one gooi word, one kind act, one cheerful smile, on a mission that will last until the world becomes a bonfire, and out of that blaze it will pass into the heavans, never to halt as long as God lives. There were in the seventeenth century men and women whose names you never heard of who are to-day influencing schools, col leges, churches. Nations. You can no more measure the gracious results of their life time than you could measure the length and breadth and depth of the phosphorescence last night following the ship of the White Star line 1500 miles out at sea. How the courage and consecration of others inspire us to follow, as a general in the American army, ceo! amid the flying bullets, inspired a trembling soldier, who said afterward, "I was nearly scared to death, but I saw the old man's white mustache over his shoulder and went on." Aye, we are all following somebody, either in right or wrong direc tions. A few days ago I itood beside the gar landed casket of a gospel minister, and in my remarks had occasion to recall a snowy night in a farmhouse when I was a boy and an evangelist spending a night at my father's house, who said something so tender and beautiful and impresssive that it led me Into the kingdom of God and decided my destiny for this world and the next. You will, be fore twenty-four hours go by, meet some man or woman with a big pack of care aud trou ble, and you may say something to him or her that will endure nntil this world shall have been so far lost in the past that nothing but the stretch of angelic memory will be able to realize that it ever existed at all. I am not talking of remarkable men and women, but of what ordinary folks can do. I am not speaking ot the phosphorescence in the track of a Newfoundland fishing smack. God makes thunderbolts out of sparks, and out of tbe small words and deeds of a small life He can launch a power that will flash and burn and thunder through the eternities. How do you like this prolongation of your earthly life by deathless influence? Many a babe that died at six months of age by the anxiety created in the parent's heart to meet that chill in realms seraphic is living yet in the transformed heart and life of those parents and will live on forever In the his tory of that family. If this be the opportu nity of ordinary souls, what is the oppor tunity of those who have especial intellectual or social or monetary eqnipmcnt? Have you any arithmetic capable of esti mating the influence of our good and gra cious friend who a few days ago went up to rest George W. Childs, of Philadelpjia? From a newspaper that was printed for thirty years without one word of defama tion or scurrility or scandal, and putting a chief emphasis on virtue and charity and clean intelligence, he reaped a fortune for himself and then distributed a vast amount of it among the poor and struggling, putting his invalid and aged reporters on pensions, until his name stands everywhere for large heartedness and sympathy and help and highest style of Christian gentle man. In an era which had in the chairs of its journalism a Horace Greeley, and a Henry J. Raymond, and a James Gordon Bennett, and anErnstus Brooks, and a George William Curtts, and an Irenaeus Prime, none ofthem will be longer remembered than George W. Childs. Staying away from the unveiling of the monument he had rearel nt large ex pense in our Greenwoo 1 in memory of Pro fessor Proctor, the astronomer, lest I should siy something in praise ot the man who bad paid for the monument. By all acknowl edged a representative of the highest Ameri can journalism. If you would calculate . his influence for good, von must count how many sheets of his newspapers have been published in the last quarter of a century, and how many people have rend them, and the effect not only npon those readers, but upon all whom they shall influence for all time, while you add to all that the work of the churches he belpe ! build and of the institutions of mercy he helped fonn 1. B"tter give up before you start the measuring of the phosphorescence In the wake of that ship of the Celestial line. Who can tel! the post mortem influence of a Savonarola, a Winkelrled. a Gutenberg, a Marlborough, a Decatur, a Toussaint, a Boli var, a Clarkson. a Robert Raikes. a Harlan Page, who had 125 Sabbath scholars, eighty four of .whom became Christians, an 1 six of them ministers of the gospel. With gratitu leand penitence and worship I mention the grandest life that was ever lived. That ship of light was launched from the heaver.s neirly 1900 years ago, angelic hosts chanting, and from the celestial wharves the ship sprang Into the roughest sea that ever tossed. Its billows were made up of the wrath of men and devils, Herodio and sanhedrlnic persecutions stirrinc the deep with red wrath, and all the hurricanes of woo smote it until on the rocks of Golgo tha that life struek with a resound of auonv that appalled the earth and the heavens. But In the wake of that life what a phospho rescence of smiles on the cheeks of souls pardoned, and lives reformed, and Nations redeemed. The millennium Itself is only one roll of that iradiateJ wave ot gladness and benediction. In the sublimest of all senses It may bo said ot Him, "He maketh a path to shine after Him." But I cannot look upon that luminosity that follows ships without realizing how fond the Lord is of life. That Are of the deep is life, myriads of creatures all a-swira and a play and a-romp in parks of marine beauty laid out and parterred and roseated and blossomed bv Omnipotence. What Is the nse of thoss creatures called by tbe naturalists "crustaceans" and "eopepods." not more than one out of hundreds of billions of which tre ever seen by human eye? God created ahem for the same reason that He creates flowers in places where no human foot ever makea them tremble, and no human nostril ever inhales their redolence, and no human eye ever sees their charm. In the botanical world they prove that God loves flowers, aa in the marine world tbe phosphor! prove that He loves life, and He loves life in play.life in brilliancy of gladness, life In exuberance. And so I am led to believe that He loves our life if we fulfill our mission as fully as the phosphor! f-jifill theirs. The Son of God came that we might have life and have it more abundantly." But I am glad to tell you that our God is not the God sometime de scribed as a harsh critic at the head of the universe, or an infinite scold, or a God that loves funerals better than weddings, or a God that prefers tears to lau ghter. an om nipotent Nero, a ferocious Nana Sahib, but the loveliest Being in the universe, loving flowers and life and play, whether of phos- Ehori in the wake of the Majestic or of the uman race keepings holiday. Bnt mark you that the phosphorescence ha a glow that the night monopolizes, and I asc you not only what kind of influence you ar coins to leave in the workl as you pass through it. but what light are you going to throw across tbe world's night of sin and sorrow? People who arts sailing on smooth and at noon do not need much sympathy, but what are you going to do for people in the night of misfortune? Wlil you droo on them shadow, or will you" kindle for then? pbospboresesaee? At this moment there are mors people cry ing than laughing, more people on the round world this moment hungry than well fed, more households bereft than homes un broken. What ar yon going to do about it? "Well," says yonder soul. "I would like to do something toward illumining the great ocean ot hamaa wretchedness, but I cannot do much.' Can you do as much as one of the phos phor! In the middle of ths At Untie Ocean, creatures smaller than the point of a sharp pin? Oh. y." you say. Then do that. Shins! Stand before the looking glass and experiment to se If yon cannot get that scowl off your forehead, that peevish look out of your lips. Have at least one bright ribbon in your bonnet.

Put a few drops of heaven Into your dispo sition. Oniieina while substitute a sweet orange for a sour lemon. Remember that pessimism is blasphemy and that optimism ts Chrlstisnity.

Remember if you cannot be a leviathan lashing the ocean into fury you can be one of the phosphori, doing your part toward making a path of phosphores-eace.

I will tell you to your face and not leave it for the minister who of ficiates at your obsequies. The failure In all eulogium of thedepartei is that they cannot hear it.

It is Impossible to tell bow many tears be wipe! away, how many burdens he lifted, or how many souls he was. under Go 1. instrumen tal in saving. His influence will ni-ver cease. We are all better for having known him. "That pillow of flowers on th9 casket was presented by his Sabbath-school cla3s, all of whom he brought to Christ. That cross of flowers at the head was presented by the orphan asylum which he befriended. Those three single flowers one was sent by a poor woman for whom he bought a ton of coal, and one was by a waif of the street whom he rescued through the midnight mission, and the other was from a prison coll which he had often visited to encourage repentance in a young man who had done wron. "Those three loose flowers mean quite as much as the garlands now breathing their nroma through this saddened home crowded with sympathizers. 'Blessed are the dea l who die in the Lord. They rest from their i.nbors, and their works do follow them.' " Or if it should be the more solemn burial at sea, let it be after the sun has gone down, and the captain has read the appropriate liturgy, and the ship's bell has tolled, and you are let down from the stern of the vessel Into the resplendent phosphorescence at the wake of the ship.

We have it on the authori'. of both Strabo and Aristotle that the ancient Gauls poi soned both their arrows and the shafts of their spears with a preparation of vegetable poison extracted from what is now believed to have been a species of hellebore. The Scythians went a step farther and ned the venom of ecrpents intermixed with the virni of putrid blood, the latter being one of the most active and incurable of the poisons known even to-day. The natives of Japan, the Ainos, prepare their arrow poisons from a se cretion of the bamboo, and the same may be said of the Aborigines of Bor neo, Java and New Guinea. In Central and South America the "Woorara" poison was the terror ol the early explorers, as well as of the modern scientific expeditions. Analyses of several specimens of arrows rubbe I with this poison prove it to bea mix ture of rattlesnake venom, putrid blood and juice from the plant or tree which produces ths strychnine of commerce. Among the North American Indians the Sionx, the Apaches, Comanches, th- Bannocks, the Shoshones and the Blackfeet were the chief tribes which used poisoned war implements. Tho Sioux obtained their supply of venom and virus by forcing large rattlesnakes to strike their fangs repeatedly into the liver or kidney of a deer or buf falo, aud then allowing the meat to putrefy. When a war party went out, one of their number was made barer of this putrid, venom-soaked mass, and whenever a battle was imminent each brave would take turns at jab bing his arrows into the poison. Among the other tribes mentioned, al though the process of obtaining the poison supply was not always inden tical with the above, the general mo dus operandi and results were very similar.

There are mar.y kinds of lifeboat knd many other devices for effecting communication by lines between wreck aud the hore. The type of boat in most general use in our ser vice is distinctively known as a surf boat. It is made of white cedar upon a white-oak frame. It is from twenty five to twenty-seven feet in length, with its fthcr dimensions proKrtion "te. It is propelled by six oars, and will carry, besides the crew, from tea to fifteen person. The excellence of the boats is ehowa by th record during the eighteen years they have been used in the hands of the life-saving crew. They have been launched in actual service 67:50 times, and have safely landed fiom wrecked vessels 6733 persons. They Lave capsized but fourteen times, aix of these acci dents being attended with loss of life. Of the boats' crews, twenty-seven were drowned, being one for every 240 lives saved. A "self-righting lifeboat is largely nsed in th English servioe, and in iiur own to a limited extent by way of experiment. This boat is constructed Twth air-i-bamht-rs at the bow and stern and several hundred pounds of iron in the keel. These cause the boat to "right"' itself when capsized by the waves. It is of necessity heavy and cumbersome, and the record for actual service is ou the whole favorable to the smaller anil lighter surfboats adopted by our own Government. The proportionate loss of life from capsiz ing is considerably less with the surf boats. The self-righting boat is four fold heavier than the other, weighing about 4000 pounds. Boats are being constantly improved and perfected, one of the latest devices being for self bailing, by which water that may b "shipped," or fills the boat as the result of m capsize, is instautly ex pelled. A boat combining nucceasfully the propcrtii-n of self righting aud 6elf-bailing would seem to be nearest possible approach to the ideaL Pop ular Science Monthly.
